An advertisement from The Saturday Evening Post, January-February 1979. Even back then this was an ugly car and time hasn’t helped.

Sears Tower 35 – 1952 Catalog

September 19, 2019September 19, 2019Chris and Carol 2 Comments

Beautiful 35mm camera made for Sears by Nicca Camera Company, Tokyo.

Certainly an expensive camera set but compared to the Leica that inspired it a definite bargain. The Nicca-Tower camera’s fit and finish and the performance of the Nikkor lenses were the equal of the Leica. How about that complete outfit at $652.95? Big bucks in 1952 (still big bucks today).

The Nicca version is the Nicca Type-3 (Type III).

Colorful cover of the Sears Fall 1952 – Spring 1953 camera catalog.

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris
